Shire of Augusta-Margaret River youth plan seeking submissions

Residents have a month left to add further detail to a plan proposed for young people within the shire. The Shire of Augusta-Margaret River’s 2022-27 Youth Action Plan comes from a slew of community consultations undertaken in recent months, released for final comment from residents by the council late last month. Shire community planning and development co-ordinator Jason Cleary said the plan identified four key areas to focus on for the next five years. They included events, work and training opportunities, transport, and community leadership. “Underpinned by a range of objectives spanning mental health support through to youth-centric events, local training opportunities and much more, the draft Youth Action Plan is a plan informed by youth, for youth,” he said. “We’re now at the stage of finalising the plan before it is endorsed and ready to be actioned, so I encourage young people and those engaged with young people to take a look and have their final say in creating this collective vision for youth for the next five years.”Visit www.yoursay.amrshire.wa.gov.au/youth-plan before September 10 to get involved.
